Funnyman Will Ferrell is planning to bring comedy and spontaneity to the stage, when he makes his Broadway debut January in the comedy, “You’re Welcome America. A final night with George W. Bush,” says Variety.

Adam McKay -- the writer-director of “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” and “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” -- is set to run the production, says the paper.

Previews of the production, which will likely have humor and content about President Bush, will begin on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20, before the Feb. 1 opening at the Cort Theater, Variety reports.

Ferrell and McKay’s hit-making team is also behind the wildly popular Funny or Die website.

  • "Gee Dub" and "greatest" do NOT belong in the same sentence, unless the word "greatest" comes before "buffoon" or "void" or "disappointment the country has experienced."
    As SNL so aptly put it:
    "Oh My God, Are you SERIOUS?!"

  • How unappreciative you liberals are! Here we have the greatest president this country has ever seen in George W Bush and you liberals go and make a play poking fun at this great man. I hope God punishes you in excrutiating ways!

    • My, what a lovely sentiment - and how very sanctimonious of you. By the way, it's spelled "excruciating" - you and Jughead must have blown into town on the same turnip truck.

    • Are you serious? "The greatest president this country has ever seen?" Where have you been the last 8 years? Canada?
